Looks good! Are you sure a sparky is qualified to run a paintbrush? I'm sure it would be an OSHA violation if they caught a plumber with a can of paint...

I did something pretty similar for my mom and dad about 15 years ago. My mom has high quality oak cabinets which would cost a fortune to replace. She wanted a lighter color, so I dismounted all the doors and removed the old finish (circa 1964) with Zip-Strip. I then applied one of these whitewash stains and then I shot the doors with three coats of an automotive clear coat finish. I handpainted the frames. Turned out pretty good......
